UFC legend promises not to hurt Logan Paul in fight on brother Jake's undercard

Vitor Belfort has called for a fight against Logan Paul on the undercard of Jake Paul's upcoming boxing match against Nate Diaz.

Belfort, 46, has turned to professional boxing after a legendary UFC career in which he once captured the light-heavyweight title. 'The Phenom' knocked out boxing legend Evander Holyfield in a farcical exhibition fight two years ago and recently won a decision against Jacare Souza on the undercard of Roy Jones Jr vs Anthony Pettis earlier this month.

The Brazilian has been calling for fights against both Paul brothers for years and he pushed for a clash against Logan in a now-deleted Instagram post that read: “Dana White, tell your boy to man up and fight me. Let’s do your brother Jake vs. Nate Diaz’s co-main event. The winner fights the winner of our fight. Go get ready and fight me. I promise I won’t hurt you.”
